I wouldn't call this phone a GNU Linux one: There won't be a public
available SDK to write Linux applications, the vendor says that it is
only possible to install java applications for usual customers of the
phone. A German distributor even writes that there is a "non-GPL Linux"
on the phone, which seems to be illegal to me.
